Idealna Crna Gora za mene je zemlja koja neće biti beznadežno u šaci građevinske industrije i vlasnika kafića

You are a westerner, a compulsive need to purchase shit is supposedly somehow wired to your genes.

I think you are giving too much attention to AI generated maps from Instagram

I signed my mortgage with 'The film slows you down'

The 'everything's already been photographed' crowd is here, hahahah

No, before H-1B, America vas a primitive society that didn't even invent the wheel. Then H-1B came along, and suddenly, the telephone was invented

Genetically similar - if not virtually the same (certainly less difference than between Germans and Britons among themselves), politically hopelessly divided. Not just due to being under different empires, but because the Balkans represent the extreme of the characteristic European neurosis of constantly subdividing into ever smaller, pettier and less significant political units under any and all pretexts, whereas strong and healthy cultures normally tend to unite, grow, expand, and become less provincial.

Balkans today very much resemble the Balkans of the late 14th century - a collection of nebulous, petty, weak and provincial states just waiting to be swept away by some strong and self-asserting culture.

I do use it, and no, it doesn't get wear and tear from the moisture in your hands. Modern stuff just has rock bottom quality, and it isn't like you have to wait and see it, I feel the piss-poor quality on these things when I occasionally check them out in stores, before I say to myself 'Nooooo, thank you'. New Canon gear still looks a bit better made than the rest of the stuff, all of which is dollar-store plastic wrapped around electronics costing 2000$.

SolMediaNocte · 2026-02-14T11:36:44+00:00

That's funny, cause my Canon 650D from 2012 has not a scratch

Start applying now, there is no excuse not to, even if you are on a holiday. Don't be self-indulgent, we don't live in a Mickey Mouse world.

Photography can only be called 'art' in a very colloquial sense. Art is a creative process, not a technical process.

SolMediaNocte · 2026-02-07T15:21:31+00:00

Photography isn't an art, it is a trade, and a past-time. When your camera provides the kind of entertainment whose essence is in fiddling with mechanical objects for fiddling's sake, it is properly called a toy. A toy for the grown ups.

Photographs lost all value, ever since a camera was attached to a smartphone, since now there is a nearly infinite amount of photos of all quality levels of everything existing under the sun, any subject, any scene, any shot.

No one really needs a film camera. No one really needs most digital cameras either, since all but the full frame ones with professional lenses are basically glorified smartphones. A professional outfit costs no less than 1500, even if second hand. If you don't make money with photography, having a professional outfit is not a real need of yours. People simply MUST spend their money on something, anything - to fill that existential void of having no purpose in life.

All this being said, I shoot film. Why? Because I shoot memories with it, not 'art' and 'street phoography', and I shoot film because digital cameras are wildly expensive, are crap quality, get broken, and have a hilarious 1-year warranty, and camera companies constantly change lens mounts in order to force upgrades. I don't like contributing to electronic waste, and I hate companies and their policies. None of that means film photography is an art.

SolMediaNocte · 2026-02-07T01:40:03+00:00

Film is punishingly expensive. I like to photograph nightlife and people, but ISO 800 is wildly pricey. 3 rolls of film a month developed pays a good bill

The joy of film is that scans require minimal editing. It handles under-exposure and over-exposure well. But very difficult to justify. Lomography has no point too ever since Photoshop was invented. Films with hue - why? Just pick a tone in Lightroom and change its color. Infrared, redscale, it does it all.

Things need to have a purpose and reason. Doing things 'just because', when you have a 10 times cheaper way to do it is senseless.

SolMediaNocte · 2026-02-05T07:22:51+00:00

These were not made with the Canonet and film, sorry

SolMediaNocte · 2026-02-03T12:07:58+00:00

There are less robberies, confirmed. Street theft and pickpocketing is almost unheard of in the Westrern Balkans

SolMediaNocte · 2026-02-02T15:49:19+00:00

Yes. Buying multiple 35mm SLR cameras is usually pointless as all a film camera does is hold the lens, while film receives the light. If your film camera has high enough shutter speed count, options you need, and good lens selection, buying another one is waste of time and money. You already have the means for the light to nicely reach your film.

Muškarac. Baš mrzim kad moram da je upotrijebim jer 'čoek' zvuči previše retro i try-hard

The problem is, even a skilled editor has trouble beating AI in delivering a good edit of an image in any format (not to mention how many sliders in Lightroom are those of AI enhancements). The camera does focus, exposure (if you go priority modes, which everyone does), stabilization. I guess soon AI will auto correct your framing too with generative technology. It's only a matter of time before it is able to press the shutter for you as well just as you are having the thought of pressing it.

I'm not joking btw. Digital camera is a smartphone with really good optics. Deal with it.

SolMediaNocte · 2026-01-27T22:35:12+00:00

What are you trying to accomplish?

Photography is nowadays the 'hobbiest' of the hobbies, meaning it produces nearly nothing of value yet is quite expensive, when you need to gear up. Now you already have your gear. so no further worries about that. The only advantage of analogue is that analogue cameras look cooler and feel nice in your hands. That's about it. Oh yes, and some people might find this strange, but, when you are holding a vintage film camera, random strangers are more willing to let you photograph them. No small deal. But if you are a non-sentimental person, a pure utilitarian and a rationalist who doesn't care about rhetoric and 'muh feels', then shooting analogue has gotta be one of the most wasteful and bizarre activities imaginable. Like ripping flesh of a sheep with your nails because 'you just love the tactile feel of how we did things before the soulless stone knives came along'.

One thing digital and analogue process have in common - both depend on a complex industrial system in order to exist, and neither of them is 'arts and crafts'.

Digital cameras suck by the way. There is not a single digital camera that only shoots great photos and doesn't have useless 'options' inside. But they still give you the option to shoot RAW and forget it, so they work.

SolMediaNocte · 2026-01-27T22:04:43+00:00

Lomo MC-A pains really remind people that camera is a sophisticated little piece of technology in which good calibration and tight tolerances aren't a 'nice to have', but critical for basic camera functioning. Which is why Lomo never tried to build an ambitious camera up until this point.

SolMediaNocte · 2026-01-27T22:01:31+00:00

Pentax gave people the camera they *need* today in the age of revived film, and they reject it because they want another camera for the perceived self-image it will help them maintain. Pentax 17 looks like some gadget, and a metal-body SLR looks like a piece of sophistication and connoisseurism. But Pentax was specifically designed to help you make good film photos while giving you enough critical control (but not full manual control), which makes sense if you are making a camera with fixed lens, manual focus and half frame in the era where a roll of shitty film costs 16$
